See Nancy's video "column quilts part 2"
It shows how to make columns of interesting flaps, soft fabrics, pockets, etc. That would keep anyone busy
with checking it out. When you get to the website you need to keep pulling up more videos.
Maybe this link will get you there faster.

okay, then, stitch the crinkly outside the quilt, with separate stiches so they can pick it off without damaging the quilt.
